ION Kite Spectre Spreader Bar

FAQ

What is the ION Kite Spectre Spreader Bar designed for?

The ION Kite Spectre Spreader Bar is the connection between your kite harness and the chicken loop. It ensures a stable, direct transfer of power while kiting and distributes the pull evenly across your body.

What material is the ION Spectre Bar made of?

The Spectre Bar is made from forged C30 carbon. This makes it particularly light and stiff, so you get direct feedback from your kite.

Which size ION Spectre Spreader Bar do I need?

The ION Spectre Spreader Bar is available in sizes 22, 25, 28.5, and 32 cm. Choose the bar width to match the width of your hip harness spreader bar mount for an optimal, slip-free fit.

How does the Tension Lever System work?

The Tension Lever System allows you to quickly put on and take off your harness without having to change the adjustment of the straps. This saves you time before and after every session.

What are the Spectre Flaps and what advantage do they offer?

The integrated Spectre Flaps are made of flexible Curv material. They prevent the spreader bar from slipping or twisting, while still giving you enough freedom of movement when kiting.

Can I replace the hook of the ION Spectre Bar?

Yes, the Spectre Bar comes standard with an aluminum hook. Thanks to ION's modular system, you can replace the hook with a stainless steel hook, the Quicklock hook, or a Dyneema webbing slider.

Is the ION Spectre Spreader Bar also suitable for beginners?

The Spectre Bar is aimed at kiters looking for a lightweight, direct setup with high comfort. Thanks to the thin EVA padding and easy handling, it is suitable for ambitious beginners as well as advanced riders.

Which ION harnesses is the Spectre Bar compatible with?

The ION Spectre Spreader Bar is designed for ION Kite hip harnesses and can be combined with common ION Kite harnesses thanks to the standardized mount.
